He gained 1,074 yards on 208 carries that season.

In 1977, Green rushed for 172 yards in the Peach Bowl. He was named to the All-America team in 1978, leading the Cyclones to the Hall of Fame Bowl. Green is one of seven Cyclones to gain 200 yards in a game with a 214-yard effort against Missouri in 1976.
